Developing PowerShell scripts for attribute synchronization rules

You can configure synchronization rules for such steps as creating, deprovisioning, or update. Synchronization Service provides a user interface (Synchronization Service Console) that allows you to set up a direct or rules-based synchronization rule without any coding.

However, to set up a script-based synchronization rule, you must develop a Windows PowerShell script that will build values of the target object attributes using values of the source object attributes.

This section provides some reference materials on using the Windows PowerShell Script Host feature and provides the sample script.

Accessing source and target objects using built-in hash tables

Synchronization Service synchronizes data between the source and target objects using the pre-configured synchronization rules.

In the PowerShell scripts used to set up the script-based synchronization rules, you can employ the $srcObj and $dstObj built-in associative arrays (hash tables) that allow the scripts to access the current values of attributes of the source and target objects, respectively. The array keys names are names of the object attributes.

For more information about the use of the associative arrays, see the Microsoft PowerShell Documentation.

In addition to $srcObj and $dstObj, Synchronization Service defines the $Request built-in hash table. The $Request key names are also names of the object attributes. The $Request hash table contains new values of the target object attributes to which the target object attributes must be set after completing the synchronization process.

To clarify the use of built-in hash tables, let us consider the following scenario: you synchronize between the mail attributes of user objects in an LDAP directory (source connected system) and Active Roles (target connected system) using the following synchronization rule: the value of the mail attribute in the target connected system must be equal to that in the source connected system concatenated with current date.

For example, before the synchronization process started, the source object had the mail attribute: JDoe@mail1.mycompany.com, the target object had the mail attribute: JDoe@mail2009.mycompany.com. After the synchronization process completes, the target user will have the following mail: JDoe@mail1.mycompany.com (5 December, 2012) (if you performed the synchronization process on 5 December, 2012.

The following code snippet illustrates the use of built-in hash tables:

#Returns "JDoe@mail1.mycompany.com
$strSourceMail=$srcObj["mail"]
#Returns JDoe@mail2009.mycompany.com
$strTargetMail=$DstObj["mail"]
#Returns JDoe@mail1.mycompany.com (5 January, 2010)
$strNewMail=$Request["mail"]

Example script

The following script illustrates the use of $srcObj.

A creating task (creating step of a sync workflow as applied to Synchronization Service) causes Synchronization Service to create user identity information from a delimited text file to Active Directory using the following creating rule: the co attribute in all created users must be set to the name of country where the user lives. The script-based creating rule calculates the co attribute value basing on the user's city (the City attribute in the connected data source).

The following script implements the described scenario:

# --- Retrieve the City attribute of the user object in connected data source.
$userCity = $srcObj["City"]
# --- Determine the user's country
switch ($UserCity)
{
"New York" {$country = "United States"; break}
"Paris" {$country = "France"; break}
"Tokyo" {$country = "Japan"; break}
default {$country = "Unknown"}
}
# --- Return the user country. The script-based creating rule
# --- assigns this value to the "co" attribute in the created user object.
$country
# End of the script

Using PowerShell script to transform passwords

You can use a Windows PowerShell script in a password sync rule to transform passwords. This section provides some reference materials on how to write a Windows PowerShell script for password transformation.

Accessing source object password

To synchronize passwords between the source Active Directory domain and the target connected data system, Synchronization Service uses the password sync rules you configure. In a password rule settings, you can type a PowerShell script that transforms source Active Directory user passwords into object passwords for the target connected system. For example, you can use such a script if you want the object passwords in the source and target connected systems to be different.

When developing a PowerShell script to transform passwords, you can employ the $srcPwd built-in associative array (hash table) that allows the scripts to access the source object password. The $srcPwd returns a string that contains the object password.

Example script

To clarify the use of $srcPwd, consider a scenario where the target object password in the target connected data system must include only 8 first characters of the source object password in the source Active Directory domain.

The following scripts implements the described scenario:

if($srcPwd.length -gt 8)
{
$srcPwd.substring(0,8)
}
else
{
$srcPwd
}
# End of the script
